The
Rock recently spoke to WWE Magazine and addressed his critics within
WWE, or rather, two particular "insecure and jealous" Superstars. They
ask the multi-time champion, "Some guys in the locker room aren't too
happy with your return. Do you feel you need to earn their respect, or
do you feel they need to earn your respect?"
The Great One responds, "Of course, a few guys have been very vocal about their unhappiness with me coming back. It doesn't bother me at all. It just proves that they lack perspective.
"Returning to WWE is an incredible opportunity for me. But much bigger
than me, it's an incredible opportunity for the business and, at the end
of the day, all we want to do is elevate WWE to new heights never seen
before and make the fans happy. For example, when Hulk Hogan returned to
WWE, I loved it, because I knew it was going to be incredible for the
business. We made history together and made millions and millions of
fans happy.
"Always remember that the ones who were vocal and
disapproving about me coming back—and we all know who the two are—are
the ones who are most insecure and jealous. Maybe one day they'll
smarten up and understand the greater perspective."
The Rock is a finalist for the “Must Follow Actor” award in the 2011 Mashable Awards. WWE has finalists in seven categories including John Cena, CM Punk and Zack Ryder up for “Must Follow Athlete” and WWE ’12 is up for “Game of the Year” while RAW is up for “Most Social TV Show.” Voting is open at Mashable.com.
